Love love love your Pinkcasts! Would love to share some of them with my college students, however, they would need to be closed captioned in order for me to do that. Have you considered providing closed captioning to make them accessible to a wider audience?

Great Pinkcast on the power of choice. “Can’t” implies ability to (“I don’t know how” or “my doctor will not let me”), but “don’t” has a strong element of choice (“I am not the kind of person who does that”). The distinction brings to mind Seth’s “people like us do things like this.” We have more choice than we ever imagine. Who do you want to be? It’s willpower and technique that are often in shorter supply. Thanks for the Pinkcasts.

Great pinkcast, however somehow the phrase, “I don’t eat Belgian Chocolate” is having a very hard time rolling off my tongue. I guess I’ll have to start with something easier (“I don’t look at Facebook during business hours”) and work my way up?

Mardi Gras is coming, and Lent begins March 1. How timely, this PinkCast — I’m going to use this to get myself ready for a period of self-indulgence followed by self-management (notice I did not say self-denial?). There is nothing I “can’t” do, yet there are many things I CHOOSE to do or not do. Thanks, Dan, for another powerful distinction!

Don’t is better than can’t not because ‘can’t’ is a weaker statement but because it implies that the prohibition has been imposed and therefore that you are subject to the will of others. Don’t implies an active decision unilaterally taken that is empowering

This is very simple, but very powerful. I actually “don’t” eat bread, sugar and starchy carbs now, and was doing this method successfully without realizing why it worked! Thanks for sharing. P.S. Where’s the other half of that bread, Daniel? Remember, you DON’T eat that!

Another great video, and a reminder. I used this to lose 150 pounds in weight. A very powerful technique. But … every 5 days I would eat something I used to really love, and I still loved it and savoured it. Maybe you could have a slice of bread one day a week?
